changes, I’ve gone to her repeatedly to tap her rare combination of
industry knowledge, technical expertise and sensible advice.”

When Wendy Johnson brings a project to us, I know the details that
make everyone’s life easier will not go unattended. Wendy brings
professionalism, skill and a personal touch to every session. Look up
“producer” in the dictionary – there’s Wendy’s picture!

only sees the big picture, but takes care of the details. In addition,
she is a real pleasure to work with.”

Joan Meath

Art Director, Hello Creative Thinking

“Wendy and I have worked together over 20 years now, at agencies and as freelancers. I’ve worked with plenty of good producers during that time, but Wendy brings something extra to everything she does. She’s my back up memory when I need it (and I often do), a great problem solver and just an all-around pleasure to work with and hang out with. Smart, buttoned-up, and fun. The perfect combo.”

Scott Sample

Creative Director/Owner Initio Advertising

“Initio has done a number of very successful campaigns with Wendy that most red blooded producers would run from, she has always done a great job of keeping deadlines and budgets key to success. Wendy not only keeps budgets and deadlines in place, but also keeps the creatives focused and harnessed, not unlike herding cats.”

her and ask her for something... she's already done it! Wendy is dedicated,
detailed, and hard working. She takes on projects with vigor and enthusiasm.

big pick-up truck if you need it? She makes the best Special K bars in the
industry!”
